Global Power and Cooling in the Data Centre Market

Managing the Evolving Architecture

Globally, the data centre uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and cooling markets are mature, where growth rates have recovered from relatively dull performances in 2012 and 2013. Increasing demand for data storage, security, and speed, along with growth in colocation and cloud services are driving UPS and cooling revenues. North America and Europe accounted for the largest shares of UPS and cooling revenues in 2014. However, the fastest growth will come from Asia-Pacific, led by China and India. Southeast Asian economies such as Indonesia and Malaysia are other strong growth markets. In terms of cooling, although traditional cooling methods still dominate market revenues, advanced cooling solutions are fast making in-roads into the market.
